Ruby Gregory did not know why her question had evoked such a reaction in Steve Burton. He smiled mysteriously, letting out a soft chuckle before his expression suddenly turned cold. He looked at her for a long moment, then nodded his head slightly, pointed to the door, and said, "You can go!"
The rapid shift in Steve Burton's demeanor frightened Ruby slightly.
Having known Steve since childhood, Ruby had a deep understanding of him and could read his moods through subtle changes in his eyes, gestures, and tone. She could discern whether he was truly upset or merely pretending.
However, after just three years apart, she could no longer comprehend what this man, who she had known for more than two decades, was thinking.
He said she could leave… Did this mean he was denying her entry to Pristine's Enterprises? Was he dissatisfied with her submission?
Anxiety began to build in Ruby's heart. She couldn't afford to lose without even starting.
